Young Anglers Get Ready For Fishing Derby At Cerritos Regional County Park |
|
|
Nearly 1,000 children
will be angling for a prize catch at the 2010 Cerritos Kids Fishing
Derby at Cerritos Regional Park on Saturday, June 5. The annual
event is sponsored by Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, along
with the City of Cerritos, the Los Angeles County Department of
Parks and Recreation and the Cerritos Rod and Gun Club.
“This fishing derby is always a fantastic event that children and
families look forward to every year,” said Supervisor Knabe. “Even
if a child has never fished before, there will be volunteers on-hand
to show them the art of fishing.”
The event begins at 7:00 a.m. with a free pancake breakfast,
followed by the fishing derby from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Children
can participate in free fishing and angler safety lessons. Each
child will also receive a free t-shirt and be eligible to compete
for prizes in other categories.
Approximately 1,000 children attend the fishing derby annually,
including nearly 200 foster children and over 100 children being
transported in from parks throughout Supervisor Knabe’s District.
Cerritos Regional Park is located at 19700 Bloomfield Avenue in the
City of Cerritos. For more information, call (562) 924-5144.

Improving San Gabriel River Bike Path in Cerritos
 Several sections of the San Gabriel River Bicycle Trail will soon be reconstructed in the Cities of Cerritos and Lakewood, Supervisor Don Knabe announced. The project will be completed in four separate phases, and is being funded with over $2.5 million in Fourth District Capital Improvement funds. The reconstruction will also remove sharp turns and improve the sight distance, which will improve the level of safety for trail users.
Providing Funding for Support Future Automotive Partnership Building at Cerritos College
Supervisor Don Knabe presented a check for $100,000 to Cerritos College. The funds will support the automotive partnership building, Southland Cerritos Center for Transportation Technologies, which is scheduled for completion in February 2010. The new $6 million automotive partners building will be a unique facility serving the college and its private/industry partners. |

Establishing Reward for Double Homicide in Cerritos
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors established a $10,000 reward, at the request of Supervisor Knabe, for information related to the double homicide of Joshua Shin and Matthew Morrison in the City of Cerritos.
New Funding for Park Projects
Supervisor Knabe dedicated $1.7 million in Proposition A Park funds to be used for various projects across the Fourth District. In Cerritos, a portion of the money will be used for the planting of 900 trees throughout the City’s arterial median, parkways and in several parks.
Synchronizing Traffic in Local Cities
A new Traffic Signal Synchronization Project has been approved for the cities of Bellflower, Cerritos, La Mirada, Long Beach, Norwalk and Whittier. The project will synchronize 35 traffic signals on Artesia Boulevard between Alameda Street and Valley View Avenue; 15 traffic signals on Central Avenue between El Segundo Boulevard and Victoria Street; and 36 traffic signals located on Whittier Boulevard between Paramount Boulevard and Valley Home Avenue. This project is part of the County’s ongoing program to enhance traffic flow and safety for drivers and pedestrians.
Expanding Mental Health Services to Native American Population
Expanded mental health services have come to a Cerritos facility that specializes in treating Native American residents, thanks to $1 million in new funding approved by the Board of Supervisors. The $1 million funding increase will allow the Counseling Center and the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health to better meet the needs of the Native American community across the County that are underserved, as well as provide intensive services to those in need of that level of care.
Providing Toy Program to Children of Teen Parents
The County of Los Angeles is now offering its successful, free Toy Loan Program found throughout the County at Tracy High School in Cerritos. By participating in the program, students in the Teen Parent Program will receive high school credits and their children can borrow one of over 100 available toys, then return the toy and check out others. |
